India’s military Nov. 18 staged a grand finale to major military maneuvers, showcasing newly acquired T-90 battle tanks and warplanes close to the border with Pakistan in the Thar desert.
The Indian military said New Delhi gave advance notice of the 14-day exercises, code named “Operation Desert Strike,” to neighboring Pakistan in line with a pact between the nuclear-armed rivals, who are engaged in a slow-moving peace process to end their decades-old feud over Kashmir.
